The Microsoft Band is getting a feature boost based on user feedback, Redmond announced today.

Microsoft is adding a Web dashboard, biking functionality, new ways to respond to incoming notifications, and integration with Microsoft apps.

"For the last three months, we've monitored feedback carefully from customers, partners and media," Matt Barlow, general manager of new devices marking, said in a statement. "While the response has been overwhelmingly positive, we are continuing to listen to our customers and make improvements based on their feedback. This feedback is at the heart of the decisions we make."

These improvements will be released in a series of updates for Windows Phone, Android, and iOS.

Starting today, the Microsoft Health Web dashboard allows users to view their data on the Web and will serve as "a powerful complement to the Microsoft Health mobile app," Microsoft said.

Also, Redmond's new Bike Tile lets Microsoft Band owners track rides indoors and out, on the road or trail. It will chart heart rate, elevation, GPS, speed, and recovery. The data will eventually be incorporated into the Web dashboard.

And for good measure, you'll find guided workouts, the option to scan incoming notifications and messages, and a virtual keyboard and voice replies for Windows Phone 8.1 users.

All this data, meanwhile, can be synced to Microsoft HealthVault and MapMyFitness. To link, go to "Connected Apps" in the menu of the Microsoft Health app.
